Excite Truck That's not new either. It's part of the Excite IP, which merely included bikes before, but does count. Most of those are on the DS (all of them except the last 4), but you should have no concern at all about new IPs on the Wii. I seriously doubt any company has published as many new IPs as Nintendo in the last 3 years. |

2/25 is no big thing, Nintendo is still pumping out lots of new IPs. I also think people need to consider whether the IP is really important when considering something like the Wii series. That series is more about creative game applications than intellectual property,and it's possible for something like Wii music to attract a totally different audience than Wii Sports or Wii Fit. The Wii name is a bit of a good rallying call for the products, but there's wider-ranging potential than with an IP like Halo or Zelda, where you're always going to be stuck with that fantasy world as a starting point.
Super Mario Galaxy and Mario Party both feature the same characters and "universe", but they appeal to different audiences. Is the game design not part of the "intellectual property"? |
And besides, how many new IPs sell well without major hype? We have Bioshock, Gears, Resistance, and Assassin's Creed, but did those magically get people's attention, without hype that made people aware of them?
